THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Season 2 Episode 30

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lucas could tell clearly that the Brookes were only agreeing to submit to him on the surface, but in reality, they were just out to use his influence and power to strengthen themselves.

In fact, it wasn’t difficult to guess their mindset. They merely thought that Lucas’s current ability was not enough for him to compete with a big family like the Huttons.

In their eyes, the Stardust Corporation was merely doing well in Orange County because of the prestige of the Huttons. Once Lucas chose to go against the Huttons in the future, he wouldn’t have the slightest advantage or chance of winning at all. They felt that he was just being delusional by thinking that he could win against a family that was far stronger than him.

Lucas’s other identity could not be easily exposed, so there was no way he could use it as deterrence either.

However, Lucas wasn’t worried. He still had enough time to make both the Stardust Corporation and the Brilliance Corporation quickly expand into astonishing enterprises. By then, he would have greater chips.

At five in the afternoon, Lucas went to the entrance of the Brilliance Corporation as usual to pick Cheyenne up after work. But at this moment, he received a text from Cheyenne. “Lucas, I’m very busy today. I have to work overtime until late at night. Please go and pick Amelia up first.”

Lucas imagined the scene of Cheyenne being busy in the general manager’s office attentively and couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly. He tapped away on his phone to reply. “Okay, got it. I’ll send Amelia home and pick you up again at night. Take care of your health. Don’t tire yourself out.”

By the time Lucas drove to the kindergarten, it was the peak hour for parents to pick their children up after school.

He looked at the entrance of the kindergarten for a while but didn’t see Amelia, so he asked a teacher at the door, “Hello, is Amelia still inside?”

During this period of time, Lucas had been fetching Amelia home from the kindergarten every day, so the teacher knew who he was. Hearing his question, the teacher couldn’t help but ask in bewilderment, “Huh? Amelia’s aunt came to pick her up ten minutes ago. Haven’t you guys discussed it?”

“So her aunt came to pick her up today. I really didn’t know. Sorry to trouble you!”

Lucas turned around and walked back to his black Jaguar. He was about to open the door to get in and go home, but he suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Logically speaking, he and Cheyenne had been going to pick Amelia up every day, and he knew that Charlotte wouldn’t pick her up without telling him. Besides, Cheyenne had texted him to tell him to pick Amelia up, so he reckoned that she wouldn’t have told Charlotte to pick her up instead.

At the thought of this, Lucas immediately picked up his phone and called Charlotte. “Did you pick Amelia up at the kindergarten just now?”

Charlotte was a little stunned. “No, I’m busy with some things in the office now, and I haven’t gotten off work yet. Lucas, do you want me to go pick up Amelia? I’ll be there as soon as I finish packing up.” On the other end, there was the sound of someone typing on the keyboard. Clearly, she was still in the office.

Lucas’s heart stopped for a moment. He felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar. An icy-cold aura abruptly emanated from his body, and there was also a terrifying glint in his eyes.

“Lucas?” Charlotte asked when she didn’t hear him reply.

Lucas took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and tried to calm himself down. Trying to sound as calm as possible, he said, “Oh, since you’re still busy, go ahead and continue with what you’re doing. I’ll go pick Amelia up.”

Lucas turned around and took a big step toward the teacher just now. “Miss Moore, did you just say that Amelia was picked up by her aunt? Are you sure it was her aunt?”

Miss Moore thought about it. “Yes, it was Amelia’s aunt. Amelia even addressed her that way. But it wasn’t Miss Charlotte Carter. I even verified with her, and she made a phone call right on the spot. Your wife indeed sent that lady to pick Amelia up. That’s why we let her take Amelia away.”

Lucas’s face got gloomier, and Miss Moore couldn’t help but feel a little unsettled. “Mr. Gray, is… is there something wrong?”

Lucas clenched his jaw and asked, “Does that woman have long, curly hair and some abrasions on her face? Is there a mole on her right eyebrow too?”

Miss Moore nodded. “Yes. She was wearing a mask at first, but she took it off later. The corners of her lips and her face were red and swollen, but she claimed that it was because of a food allergy. But the mole on her eyebrow was rather striking, so I still remember it very clearly.”

Lucas was instantly overwhelmed with fury as his face became enraged.

The person who had come to take Amelia away was undoubtedly Scarlet Wright!

Scarlet was extremely hostile and malicious toward him and Cheyenne. Previously, at the Opulence, she even got slapped and abandoned by Aston Brooke because of Lucas. Since then, she hated Lucas to the core. She definitely had evil intentions for taking Amelia away from the kindergarten!

At this point, even Miss Moore sensed that something was wrong. She hurriedly asked, “Is… there something wrong with that woman’s identity?”

Lucas didn’t have the time to explain anything to her. He turned around right away and strode toward his car. At the same time, he took out his phone and made a call. “Go and find out where Scarlet Wright is right now! Deploy everyone at all costs!”

Lucas was extremely furious, and he was full of a terrifying and murderous aura. It was the first time since he returned to Orange County that he wanted to get someone killed so badly!

If something really happened to Amelia, he would definitely make Scarlet Wright’s life a living hell!

——

At this moment, Scarlet had no idea about Lucas’s fury. She was currently sitting in a private room of a bar and glancing at a young man in his thirties sultrily while leaning against him flirtatiously.

“Mr. Hale, you promised that you’d help me take revenge! I almost got disfigured!” Scarlet’s face was coated with a thick layer of foundation and concealer to hide the swelling of her face.

When she thought of how she had been hit and abandoned mercilessly by Aston in the Opulence, resentment and anger filled her eyes. She hated Lucas tremendously! magic

Furthermore, after being slapped by Jordan, she even got slapped and kicked by Aston.

However, Scarlet dared not look for trouble with Jordan now and simply pinned all the blame on Lucas!

The young man next to Scarlet put his arm around her and groped her a few times. “Scarlet, rest assured. Anyone who bullies my woman is insulting me too! I will definitely take revenge for you!”

This man was Logan Hale, the owner of the Cocktail Bar who tried to drug Charlotte previously!
